Wow, this is some of the most interesting and complex stop motion I’ve seen, especially for building something. Because it probably took 3x as long to build while filming. (via Bookcase Stop Motion)

This is short documentary on the Making of Neon Signs is very similar to me as Jiro Dreams of Sushi. The working culture in Japan and China are next to none, with so many masters of craft living in those countries, whether it’s neon signs or sushi. Impressive stuff.

I’ve yet to do any 3D printing, but documenting the rise of the industry seems very interesting. Looking forward to watching this.

Another Every Third Thursday from Signal Snowboards. This time they used recycled Christmas Trees. Good stuff as always.

Another idea that I only see Red Bull as being able to pull off, as usual. They’re just too damn good at these things.

A quick behind the scenes, err behind the “helmets” look at what goes into Daft Punk’s look. Apparently they haven’t been photographed without a helmet on since 1998… Now that is brand management.

You like GoPro or you don’t, but they single handedly created a whole new industry of cameras. They are amazing pieces of technology.

I really, really hope digital design does not kill off the skill and artistry of sign painting. I’d do this in a second any day over working on a computer if I had the skills and a steady hand.

Regardless of your views of DC Shoes, you cannot disregard what they have done for the action sports community, especially skateboarding. This montage from the last 20 years doesn’t even scratch the surface.

This is quite an intense build of a skate ledge to match a DC shoe. They made the real gum on the bottom of the ledge have the same texture as the shoe. Wow.

Wow. This kind of blew my mind. I had no idea pianos were capable of this.

Hell yeah to this man. ‘Disabled’ my ass, he is absolutely killing it on the drums. As I saw one comment say, ‘there is no excuse to not learning a new skill because it’s too hard.’ Amen to that, and always good to see the human spirit alive and well.

This is a pretty rad suspended bike roundabout. All the cool stuff happens in Europe, I swear.

I post a fake Apple ad, and now a real Apple video. Regardless of what they say, their engineering is top notch, and so is this video of the making of the new Mac Pro. I want one, but where are the new screens?

I am a hashtag abuser sometimes when I Instagram, but I only do it because of the ridiculousness that these two bring up. Bravo to them, again.

Others and I have talked about this many times. But these guys in New Zealand actually did it. Awesome.
